client jmx through httpinvoker

[sviluppatorefico]

hi.....I use jboss4.0.2 and I've configured httpinvoker of type "restricted" . I want to call it through a java client. I've tried to make this:

Properties ps = new Properties();
ps.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jboss.naming.HttpNamingContextFactory");
ps.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"http://localhost:8080/restricted/JNDIFactory");
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(ps);
Object server = (Object)ic.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor");
System.out.println(server);

I've this error:

Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NamingException: Failed to retrieve Naming interface [Root exception is java.net.ProtocolException: Server redirected too many times (20)]

if I invoke restricted/JNDIFactory through the web browser I succeed to download it with an authentication. I ask me too how I can to pass the credentials through the java code.

use this
initialContext ic = new initialContext(env);
RMIAdaptor server = (RMIAdaptor ic.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor");

If your JBoss server is running on a windows machine. You may have to check the 'jboss-service.xml' file in the 'http-invoker.sar/META-INF' directory of your JBoss server configuration.

I've seen that a the windows server hostname may default to it's short name or DNS alias. When the client asks the server for the Naming service the server responds with a URL containing the short name. The client most likely can't resolve the short name into an IP address.

The 'jboss-service.xml' file has attributes named 'UseHostName' in the MBean definitions. They are set to 'true' by default and I generally set them to 'false' for windows machines that have this problem with host name.

If you use a network sniffer, i.e. ethereal, you can verify the behavior and see what the server is sending back to the client.
